A DRY WEEKEND. NOT QUITE AS CHILLY. I WILL SEE YOU LATER ON TONIGHT. I'M METEOROLOGIST HARVEY LEONARD. A HUGE SHOW OF SUPPORT FOR A FAMILY TRYING TO MAKE THEIR HOME ACCESSIBLE FOR THEIR DISABLED SON AFTER THE CONTRACTOR HIRED TO DO THE JOB LEFT WITH THEIR MONEY. NEWSCENTER5 MARY SALADNA IS LIVE WITH THE TEAM EFFORT UNDERWAY TO COMPLETE THE PROJECT. MARY? HEATHER, IT IS JUST AN INCREDIBLE FEEL-GOOD STORY. LIKE AN EPISODE OF ABC "EXTREME HOME MAKEOVER." A COMMUNITY COMING TOGETHER TO RESCUE ONE VERY DESERVING FAMILY. THE GOAL WAS TO GIVE SAM A HOME FOREVER, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE ARE NO LONGER HERE HE IS SAFE AND SECURE AND THIS WOULD BE HIS HOUSE. IT TOOK YEARS TO SAVE UP FOR THE PROJECT TO MAKE THEIR HOME ACCESSIBLE FOR THEIR SON SAM WHO NEEDS A WHEEL CHAIR DUE TO HIS CEREBRAL PALSY. THEIR CONTRACTOR LEFT THEM HIGH AND DRY. IT WASN'T GETTING DONE SO I TALKED TO EVERYBODY I KNEW AND ONE BEING BOB AND HE IMMEDIATELY SAID, YES, WE WILL HELP YOU OUT. WE STARTED USING OUR CONTACTS AND THE MOST AMAZING THING TO ME WAS EVER I HAVE SINGLE PERSON THAT WE CONTACTED OUR SUB CONTRACTORS, THE UNIONS, THEY ALL WITHOUT HESITATION SAID ABSOLUTELY WE ARE GLAD THAT YOU ARE INCLUDING US, WE WANT TO BE A PART OF IT. NOW MORE THAN A DOZEN BUSINESSES, OVER 30 CRAFTSMAN ARE OFFERING THEIR TIME AND SUPPLIES AND EXPERTISE. I MEAN I SAID EVERY DAY I REALLY DON'T BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING. HE WILL BE ABLE TO TRULY MOVE IN AND OUT AND AROUND HIS ROOM. HE CAN SAY THIS IS MY PLACE ANDKY GO FROM THIS POINT TO THAT POINT AND DO IT ON MY OWN AND I DON'T NEED SOMEONE TO CARRY ME, I CAN DO IN. SAM'S PARENTS SAY THIS IS ABOUT GIVING SAM NOW 16 YEARS OLD HIS FREEDOM. THIS IS GOING TO CHANGE MY LIFE. HOW? IT WILL GIVE ME MORE INDEPENDENCE. AND WORK CONTINUES AT THIS HOUR. THEY WILL KEEP GOING ALL WEEKEND. THE HOUSE SHOULD BE FINISHED, SAM READY TO ROLL THROUGH WITH NO STEPS,
